I Think I Shall Never See a Poem Lovely as a Tree

"I think that I shall never see 

A poem lovely as a tree."

"A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed 

Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;"

"A tree that looks at God all day, 

And lifts her leafy arms to pray;" 

"A tree that may in summer wear 

A nest of robins in her hair; "

Upon whose bosom snow has lain; 

Who intimately lives with rain. 

Poems are made by fools like me, 

But only God can make a tree. 

-Joyce Kilmer (December 6, 1886 – July 30, 1918)  

💓Thanks to my brother, Royce, for sharing this restful poem.

Dance Lightly on the Edges of Time

Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time 

like dew on the tip of a leaf. 

Rabindranath Tagore

Come Fairies, take me out of this dull world, 

for I would ride with you upon the wind 

and dance upon the mountains like a flame! 

William Butler Yeats

Only when you drink from the river of silence 

shall you indeed sing. 

And when you have reached the mountain top, 

then you shall begin to climb. 

And when the earth shall claim your limbs, 

then shall you truly dance. 

Khalil Gibran

Accept 'What Is' to Suffer Less

"Accept what is.

Release what was.

Create what must be."

Andrea Balt, Rebelle Society

“We suffer because we want life 

to be different from what it is.

We suffer because 

we try to make pleasurable 

what is painful, 

to make solid what is fluid, 

to make permanent what is always changing.”

Sakyong Mipham

Accept What Is,

but leave space open in your heart

for the miracle of what is to be.

Say yes to the universe 

💛Accept everything life puts in front of you. 

💙Trust you can handle whatever life brings. 

💜Be confident and strong knowing 

All things seemingly good or bad work in your favor. 

💜Thanks to Darlene the Owl💜

who nests in Sue Flynn's barn

for letting me channel her

wisdom and for giving me the night vision 

to look for what's hidden in and around her.

💛And thanks to Sue💛 

for the stunning photo of Darlene

that gave me much pleasure playing with.

carried by the surprise

of its own unfolding."

John O'Donahue

“Let me not pray 

to be sheltered from dangers, 

but to be fearless in facing them;

let me not beg 

for the stilling of my pain, 

but for the heart to conquer it.”   

Rabindranath Tagore

if good times have moved on

so will times of trouble!"

Leaving Your Worries Behind

Cruising Down the River of Life

“I left a good job in the city

working for the man every night and day

I never lost one minute of sleeping

I was worrying 'bout the way the things might've been’

We're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.”

Tina Turner

Rough Waters? 

Leave Your Worries Behind

We’ve all got worries but don't let them drag you down.

Learn to set sail in life no matter how rough the waters.

Learn to navigate through the emotionally tough times.

Step Up

Climb Aboard

Rock the Boat

Branching Out in Life  

Want to really feel alive?

Go out on a limb. 

Make a commitment to improve your life.

Take a Leap of Faith.

Trust this new branch of life will support you.

Feel the thrill of knowing you’re really living your dream.

DREAM

Smooth Sailing

 Row, row, row your boat,

Gently down the stream,

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,

Life is but a dream.

Life is Always there to Support you

Trust

Believe

Looking Ahead Hopefully

"Looking ahead hopefully 

is the essence of being happy."

Gail Sheehy

Thirsty Boots

"Oh take off your thirsty boots

And stay for awhile

Your feet are hot and weary from a dusty mile

And maybe I can make you laugh

And maybe I can try

Lookin' for the evenin'

And the mornin' in your eyes"

Eric Andersen, American Singer-Songwriter

"Pack up your sorrows

And give them all to me"

Songwriters Mimi & Richard Fariña

Hope is like the sun, 

which, as we journey toward it, 

casts the shadow of our burden behind us.
